A four-post lift at Miami Beach
Marina has 40,000lb (18,144kg)
capacity.
Miami marina
opts for larger lifts
In a reflection of increased demand for boat lifts capable
of handling larger and heavier boats, Miami Beach Marina
has installed large models to complement its many
smaller Golden Boat Lift-equipped slips. The four new
installations are custom-built four-post lifts, each with an
impressive 40,000lb (18,144kg) capacity.
A typical lift designed for
this weight would require
eight posts but Golden
redesigned the aluminium
top beam to sit on four
concrete piles and securely
carry the load. This made the
installation less expensive
and also improves overall
appearance making it easier
to sell the slip.
Miami Beach Marina
has 400 slips and offers a
variety of mooring packages
- from overnight to annual.
This means the lifts need
to be adaptable to a wide
range of hull and engine
configurations. Golden Boat
Lifts are renowned for their
flexibility in accommodating
multiple outboard monohulls,
powercats and even
sailboats. The custom fourpost
lifts will even adjust to
support twin engine inboard
diesels.
